No, I don't remember that thread. I was searching here by your description. Words 'troll', 'ccp' ....., but nothing comes up. Did you try Yahoo-gle search? If you'll get close to the thread's description, Yahoo will spit out eChina post. Too.

Ai Weiwei's interview with paid qq troll.
In fact, in a single forum you have to play three different roles. One is the leader. Another is the follower. The third is the observer, which is to say the masses ignorant of the facts. So first off is the leader. This is a speaker with relative authority. The leader generally steps into the debate later on, drawing out strong evidence with which to speak. The language from this character is relatively authoritative. Generally, the public will view this sort of person as credible. As to the second, the follower, there are basically two types, two types in opposition. These two characters are constantly debating and arguing, and even name calling, in opposition in the forum. This serves to draw the attention of observers. Then, in the end, the leader steps out, drawing on strong evidence. And ultimately, public opinion is drawn over to this third side [of the leader]. You could say we are like directors, and we write, direct and act all on our own, and in this way influence our audience. So there are times when I feel my personality is quite split.

Not yet but I will give it a go
Just thinking though that Admin did delete alot of posts
around that time so it might not exist anymore
I will try Daben's old posts as it could have been him or kulcher
ScotsAlan:
" The 2013 study found that trolls often have a high expectation of what it means to be successful, which is higher than they are able to attain, and this results in them resenting others who think they are successful but who fall below their standards." Found that on wiki.
